WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jean-Claude Boisset Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021 is made from 100% Pinot Noir. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted twice. Fermentation occurs in tanks using indigenous yeasts, with a portion of whole grapes and a cold maceration period before fermentation. Maceration lasts between 15 and 19 days, with punchings of the cap. The wine is then aged for 13 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with a percentage of new oak. The barrels are toasted at low temperatures for a long time. The wine is unfined and very lightly filtered.
